A propos de cet article

1654 CONNACHTIA VULGO CONNAUGHTYA fine antique map of the Connaught region of Ireland by Johannes Blaeu. Decorative cartouche with local trades Coats of Arms. This example is from the German edition.Condition is generally very fine with central fold as issued.Overall size approx 59.5cm x 50cm including margins.Joan (Johannes) Blaeu (1596-1673) was a Dutch cartographer active in the 17th Century. Joan was the son of Willem Janszoon Blaeu, founder of the Blaeu firm. Like his father Willem, Johannes was born in Aklmaar, North Holland, He studied law, attaining a doctorate, before moving to Amsterdam to join the family mapmaking business. In 1633, Willem arranged for Johannes to take over Hessel Gerritszs position as the official chartmaker of the Dutch East India Company, although little is known of his work for that organisation, which was by contract and oath secretive. Where other cartographers often fell into financial ruin, the Blaeu form thrived. It was most likely those profits that allowed the firm to publish the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, Altlas Novus, their most significant and best known publication. When Willem Blaeu died in 1638, Johannes, along with this brother Cornelius (1616-1648) took over the management of the Blaeu firm. In 1662, Joan and Cornelius produced a vastly expanded and updated work, the Atlas Novus, whose handful of editions ranged from 9 to 12 volumes. In 1672 the Great Amsterdam Fire destroyed their offices and most of their printing plates. Johannes Blaeu died the following year was survived by his son, also Johannes but commonly called Joan II, who inherited the familys VOC contract, for whom he compiled maps until 1712.…
